Copper-catalyzed three-component coupling of arynes, terminal alkynes and activated alkenes.
The three-component coupling of benzynes with terminal alkynes and activated alkenes in the presence of CuI, PCy(3) and CsF in a 1:1 mixture of CH(3)CN and THF at 50 degrees C for 5 h gave 1-alkyl-2-alkynylbenzenes in good to moderate yields.
